Please Note  
       1.  Changes to some songs will be given out at the start so bring your script
            and have a pencil handy.  The cuts are necessary because the Show is a
            bit too long.
       2.  3 leaflets will be handed out later on Sunday afternoon.  These detail all
            the arrangements for getting into the theatre and a lot of other associated
            information.

Theatre Planning
Now is the time to think carefully about your participation in the Show so that you can have as much fun as possible.
Do you have to wear a radio mike in any number ?   Remember this will reduce your time for changing costumes so plan accordingly.
Do you need to carry a Prop on stage or bring one off stage ?   Don't forget !

Costumes
You will need a clothes hanger for each set of costumes.   The hangers should be wooden or strong plastic - no wire hangers.  Smaller items for a number (such as shoes, belts, etc.) should be placed in a plastic carrier and the handles looped over the hanger's hook.  On Sunday 25 February we will show you how to label you hangers for ease of finding.   Remember there are many hundreds of costume changes taking place each evening and it is important that none are mislaid.

Missing Cast

On Tuesday two persons missed important rehearsals.   Each of the following now have only ONE rehearsal left :

Pirates
Gnomes
Noddy
Roman Woad
Stirling's Tale
Stop Digging.

We cannot complete these rehearsals without 100% turnout.   Please look at your schedule and ensure you are present for any and all numbers you are in.

If the number cannot be completed satisfactorily because of absences then either the number will be dropped from the Show or the missing individual will be replaced in that number.
